Nice catch Rocksteady.......what kind of fly were you using?

I know I will sound like a nitwit here (not like I have never done that before) but it was a green body with grey wings folding backwards.....

As you can tell I do not know fly patterns at all. For the longest time I thought there was only 2 types - Royal Coachman and Doc Spratley.:biggrin:

Was using a sinking line with the green fly, trolling in my 12 ft aluminum, using the MinnKota.....

Nice haul!
I'm of the same thought regarding flies, have lots of them but I know the actual names of only a few.

Nice catch. Looking at the head shape, those fish have not reached maturity yet and they are 14", later in the summer or next year, those are going to be whoppers. Of course, they came from Noname Lake, right?:lol:

Thanks for the info Rocksteady......I got a big box of flies and don't know 80% of there names either.
I am looking forward to some fly fishing up here in the Cariboo if the ice ever melts.
cheers

Nice catch, sounds like a fun spring day out.

I like to name my flies myself. Most of them after ex girlfriends and bosses. I have "red-headed skank" and a "big-mouth know it all" as a couple of examples.

Another bit of advice....Don't try to fish with two flyrods, whilce trying to steer the boat in small gusty winds...

What a gong show.....Glad there was no witnesses to that:biggrin:

You want a gong show, I tried fishing the same way you did but with one line. My girlfriends dad (went with him in his boat) uses nothing but a Willow Leaf and a spinner. I thought I would have no problem with the sinking line and him with the gang troll. Well I spent about half an hour un wrapping my whole flyline from his line (I think I know how braided line was invented):eek:

Finally get it undone and 10 minutes later the same thing happens again. Another half hour and lets just say the flyrod does not even come out if he is in the boat as thats the only way he fishes.

Some nice ones in horseshoe lake also.

Some nice ones in horseshoe lake also.

I don't fish Horseshoe...Just my personal preference..The water level is WAY down compared to what it used to be (maybe some diversions have happened way up in the rockies or at the base of them???), plus with all of the cattle grazing and recreational pressure it gets there, I am a little unsure of the water quality. A lot of the foreshore is just pounded to dust and mud by the users.Horseshoe actually has a smell to it, so I won't eat anything out of it.

I prefer the deeper lakes for fish I am gonna eat and good water exchange (creek in/creek out???).

Probably smaller than what you, Ali and the other ocean fishers call "bait"...:D
